    using a military antenna with am/fm radio

    Thanks Chris, good photos. That is the AS-1729 antenna with MX-6707 base. It is intended for use on 30 to 76 MHz and has the switch to set the internal components for the range needed. That switch can be set manually, as you noted, or electrically by way of the multi-pin connector (only turn...

    using a military antenna with am/fm radio

    CkWatson, How about some pictures? Some antennas are tuned and/or shunt fed and transmitting into them on a non-tunable frequency might make your transmitter very unhappy, or the tuner if you use one. The antenna might present as a dead short on CB frequencies, you just don't know. NATO...

    FOUND! Stolen M939 out of Monroe Washington

    Is that a picture of the truck? If buried up to the axles, why are the tires not even dirty?

    Overcharging after alternator rebuild and new belts?

    You really should put a good meter on the batteries and see what actual voltage is. Dash meters are 'estimates' of voltage :-)

    Unimog FLU 419 needing a clutch

    Bikers33 brings up an important point. If the bell housing has any fluid in it then the drain plug is in place. The drain plug should not be in place unless fording is expected and would then be there to prevent water entry. If the plug is in, then the bell housing, and thus the clutch, could...

    Unimog 404 radio trucks are great trucks. Just remember they are low powered and have manual steering and brakes but once you have the bugs worked out they are remarkably reliable. I really like them. They are extremely capable trucks. The photo in snow is busting trail to the top of Mt...

    Identify this vehicle

    Unimog model 404. Probably 60s, most are, but could be very early 70s. Looks modified with tank under left side? Do you have more pictures?

    Driver's Side Folding Radio Antenna Mount

    I like that! Mounting an HF antenna on a tall LMTV is a challenge. Bob WB4ETT

    HMMWV Battery Polarity Keeps Reversing?

    === You can't take that number 2 scenario literally. That scenario was not based on seriesed batteries. In your case the problem seems straightforward and post after post has told you so: there is definitely parasitic drain on your 12v battery, the one that reverses, and, probably a...

    Canadian M152 Camper/Bugout Mods

    Its too bad the trend to highly modify these old Steel Soldiers grates on the nerves of the 'restoration' advocates who predominate SS.

    LMTV Transmission won't engage

    That single line, one sentence, is more definitive than many posts of paragraphs of speculation.

    Mercedes Benz 1017A tires needed 365/85R20

    This company in Texas will probably be able to assist you. You are headed in that general direction. They have a lot of tires! http://wartimefinds.homestead.com/Tires-Wheels.html Manfred, it is nice to have you on this forum. That is a nice model truck you are driving, the 1017. A good...

    Unimog SEE issues

    A slightly dragging clutch will make shifting the lower gears more difficult. Your low clutch fluid could easily cause that. Try shifting with motor off. If shifting improves then that is confirmation. Bleed the clutch slave cylinder just like bleeding a brake slave. The SEE transmissions...

    LMTV windshield wiper controller

    Is that a confirmed number? I ask because if that number is brought up on finditparts (see screen capture) the picture is clearly not the correct controller. Of course a picture could be wrong.

    LMTV windshield wiper controller

    Has anyone found a source for the wiper controller, the black box on the left edge of the power distribution panel (PDP)? HELLA 5WG002 450-19, 24V The intermittent function has quit on my truck. Low and High speeds still work. At the plug on the motor, ground is good, 12v (low speed) is...

    Frame Rail FMTV VIN number

    All these questions are a lot like questions about getting insurance, there's a different answer for every state and probably every agent and type of truck. No one is going to match your set of circumstances, ever. Are you really expecting a solution asking us?
